Just a Compilation of Clips when I played with the clutch to get it to work with a Nuvinci Hub. Enjoy! This is why we build bikes! My build log is at http://motorbicycling.com/
This is a centrifugal clutch gears are built into the Nuvinci rear hub. Also no the pipe never ever gets hot it is totally safe even with wearing shorts ! iIs only a 49.8cc motor pipe size is for the two stroke fine tuning.
Some Audio was Bad and Un-salvageable from learning how to muffle the mike on a very cheap cam.. there's good parts in here tho... I got the mic to work by very tightly wrapping layers of electrical tape over it in the end..
Make no mistake the Morini is a loud engine....I would put it at 1.5 times louder than the standard China two stroke kit.
Goathead Stickers here everywhere ''brodder''..........
There is one spot at the Plain cruising at the second stretch of side walk before the Grocery store and at the speed run towards the end of the Video. where...
I find it very easy to over shift sometimes. The centrifugal clutch needs X amount of grip to match a load.. Hence forth X amount of RPM's , enough H.P. to climb through it and or to hold it there........its all related with my currant set up.
Song is by Thievery Corporation.... 2001 Spliff Odissey From A Album Sounds From The Thievery.. http://www.thieverycorporation.com/
I really like there music while I am not big on rap they have really nice instrumental type stuff.. The production and sounds these artist come up with are awesome!!
I don't think I will make a bike like this again tho 5.8 hp seams to be boarder line for the chains and the hub.. I want 9+ hp now.. It was fun to share this with folks! I will go with a single speed bike in the future me thinks. Building my own rides has been fun and this was a learning adventure for me and my first build.. Video sorta shows it works is all. This has been a fun hobby. Enjoy!!
Happy is from: http://motorbicycling.com/f16/happy-travels-8165.html something fun community wise we started.
I'm kicking around converting my Subaru Robin EH035 friction drive motorbike to be chain driven with a Nuvinci system. Because it has 1.5 horsepower, I'm not expecting it to become amazingly faster, but to remedy the problems I have with slippage when hitting a wet surface or sand, very slow acceleration from a dead stop at intersections and steep hills, and maybe a slightly higher top speed. Do you think the Nuvinci system would bog my motor down and not yield any results?

@Reservoirdogs12 I think on a low power motor you are not going to get a performance gain so to speak. There is going to be a little drag with a N.V. But your direct chain approach I think is great. I think you would prolly enjoy the gears.

@GoatHerder12311 was a napoleon dynamite joke :p its matthurd btw, does it make you do wheelies or something when you hit a speed bump? lol
would be interesting to see someone take one of these on jumps for sure, most bikes dont got very good suspension after all xD

@heroofharo That's pretty funny lol . I forgot about that line. This thing has rugged down hill type competition forks . The Backed end is pretty solid too. I am too old for the ramping lol. Except the occasional speed bump. The bike is already pretty heavy. I put a lot of iron in the build.
I don't think I could ever bring myself to out right ramp it. That's a funny line tho. lol
